That’s an absolute lie and you know it.

Bruh yennefer is mentioned multiple times. You’re also looking for her. What I’m saying is not wrong. I’m gonna stop responding to you because you seem to clearly have no desire to engage in good faith conversation. I was not being condescending . You’re clearly looking to pick a fight. Goodbye.

Huh? Witcher 2 was primarily focused on Geralt looking for Yennifer. Are you mixing up names?

The books are canon for the games, yes. The games are not canon. Idk what else to say. I played W2 and 3 originally without having read the books. It didn’t seem weird in W3 because W2 was spent looking for her the entire game. And it gave clues about their history. After having read the books W3 makes even more sense since I understood more about the characters. There is nothing unreasonable about how they did that game. The game is totally fine without having read the books. But I am telling you that it makes more sense if you did.

I mean… The game has numerous book references. It expects you to have read then. Half the characters and references are from the books. So not sure why it’s the yen part that specifically bugs you :-)

The whole triss vs yen thing was lazy fanservice added by CDPR. If you read the books, it’s clear Geralt is destined to be with Yen. The books make this abundantly clear. It also makes it crystal clear that Geralt thinks of Triss like a little sister, not romantically. There was absolutely no reason to have that in the book. It’s straight up stupid fanservice and made the game into kind of a meme in my opinion.

Yea what the fuck. This is clickbait as absolute fucking shit. “Gaming journalism” my ass.

Yea that’s exactly what I’m saying. I blame the consumers. It’s not like they don’t have options.

Does anyone defend them? I think what happens is that people get mad at them but then still buy the games anyway hecause they’re absolute fucking idiots. I believe this is what happens.

Because people are dumb and have no impulse control. Companies exploit that.

Agreed. I blame the consumers more than the companies.

No i didn’t mean walkthroughs.

Yes, exactly.

Yes I completely agree. The best source for game issues I’ve found is technical discord servers and asking people there. However this is not ideal either because:

1. Discord is entshitifying and will probably be dogshit in a few years (they recently announced they wanted to go IPO and we all know what that means.)

2. Discord is not searchable on search engines

3. Search within discord is dogshit

4. You have to ask people and wait for an answer which is not guaranteed.

I probably wouldn’t bank on Lemmy for tech advice. I see the same misinformation posted here as on Reddit for tech.

I’m not even that old and I still prefer reading because you can take screenshots of directions, flip to the correct spot, easily reference stuff, and copy/paste text. You can’t do any of that with video. I will never understand why people prefer video for this stuff.

Oh sweet child…

Nah first game sucks.

Idk who down voted you. The first game was one if the most boring games I’ve ever played in my life.

At most, yes. I just didn’t wanna make 14 paragraphs of zeros lol.

Video game boycotts are an absolute fucking joke. Especially if organized here. I mean what % of consumers are on Lemmy? Like 0.00000000000000001%? For fuck sake.

Just roll back to 566.36 and don’t upgrade unless there is a real security vulnerability that they patch with a new driver. Then reevaluate. If you’re on a 50xx gpu, well then sucks to be you I guess

Lemme know your thoughts. I see how it has merit and is possible but yeah, it totally kills the vibe. Maybe it was something the devs put in but ultimately abandoned, but kinda didn’t scrub it all out prior to release.

There’s audio logs in theta of someone trying to reach carthage for instructions. It’s obvious. What’s unclear is if she’s doing it out psychosis or actually knows they’re still around.

Idk how much you dove into the lore, but have you ever read about the Carthage theory? There were some hints that Cathage Industries (who owned Pathos 2) were still around (they had other underwater facilities) and responsible for creating Simon and were monitoring the situation, sort of like Resident Evil Umbrella Corp style. Personally I’m not a huge fan of that theory as it takes away from the mood of the game, but it’s interesting and has a lot of merit.

Yea. It was really well done. I think it could totally be a TV show or a game. Idk if you feel this way but literally no game or movie or anything has ever made me feel as fucked up (in a good way) as SOMA did the first time I played it. I mean horror, philosophy, anger, sadness, denial. It had it all. I even made the same mistake that Simon makes where I totally didn’t want to believe that he would never really make it to the Ark (because copy paste, not cut paste.) It was just so good. Omg also the part where the guy is talking about killing yourself right after getting the scan…to obtain “continuity.” Absolutely crazy, even if the theory doesn’t make sense lol. I can see how in a moment of desperation that it could make sense to you.

You mean the live action web series? Yea I don’t understand how that series had better visuals than many blockbuster scifi movies rofl. It was extremely well done.

Is this serious? Doom was sci-fi. Now it’s fantasy. The new game has you riding a dragon for Christ’s sake. What don’t you understand?

What even is Doom anymore? It used to be a marine shooting demons on mars with a shotgun. Now it’s some mythological fantastical fever dream bullshit where you ride dragons and execute perfectly timed combos against alien God things. It might be fun but it’s certainly NOT Doom anymore.

GOG is fucked. As soon as services like this start talking about subscriptions, it’s already over.

It could have been a prequel. That would have been cool.

I’m confused. Digital foundry clearly spells out the performance you will get with both FG and without. They’re not harsh on it at all?

Don’t pay attention to idiots who don’t know what they’re talking about. Lemmy and Reddit are full of tech misinformation. It’s not even worth replying to.

You couldn’t pay me to buy a HP device.

Your looking at it in Canadian. I’m looking at usd. So we’re saying the same thing, just different currencies lol. Woops.

What boxes? The 1k pack comes with two base stations. You mean if you want to add 2 more? Then yea, fair.

Huh? It’s $1K, not $1.5K. still expensive though for outdated as shit hardware.

I don’t even need to read the article to know that this post is sensationalized as fuck. People really need to stop upvoting garbage. Please post better content people. Do we really want Lemmy to be full of shitposts articles like this?

Why do people even get excited about games before they release and are reviewed? I suggest not paying attention to any “gaming news” until a game is out and reviews are posted. Why waste your time otherwise? Same with tech. Just don’t pay attention until something is released and reviewed. Your time is better spent elsewhere on real tangible things.

Everything I read says that this game is dogshit. Just goes to show how fucking useless “video game awards” are.
